COACH'S CORNER
"Successful road trip!  It's not easy to have such a long road trip on a weekday, but I'm proud of our team for coming out with energy and effort right from the start.

"We focused on putting together a full defensive effort and containing the driver over the past couple of practices.  I think we did a much better job at that today.

"This was a day where we got great minutes and contributions from everyone.  That's fun to be a part of.

"We are eager to get back to practice tomorrow and prep for an extremely disciplined and challenging Emerson team on Saturday." - Head Coach Phil Pellegrino
